I'd agree with dining at the bar at Mistral, Via Matta, Davios, Neptune Oyster, Number9 cafe menu - lobster gnocchi? There are plenty of choices to keep it from going over the top expensive, as you would in the diningroom. Or southend - Franklin, or Union or Rocco - new place, looks nice, hear good things.

For a lower priced options I'd recommend Audobon Circle but maybe for a future meal. I actually avoid the place on Fri & Sat nights, a little to hectic. Not sure if the sox are at fenway tonight but that's a dealbreaker too.
